I have hired guys that were really good on the book side but couldn’t make it translate to the real shop world,I have hired guys that did really poorly on the book side but have tremendous mechanical ability.
If you dont have a natural ability for mechanics no amount of book time will help you.First, find a trustworthy mechanic, someone who has been recommended by a friend. Best advice ever!!
You can chase codes till you go crazy,I hate it when a customer has the codes read from a place like autzoned and insist they know whats wrong and wont listen to our recommendations for the correct repair.

Cleaned the egr and on the bad ones we replaced and they ran fine.
good luck.
